Welcome to upside

In preparation for our upcoming Santa visit, my 5 year old said, “I can’t decide what to ask for – a tablet or an e-reader!” When I was 5, I was likely hoping for a Strawberry Shortcake doll or a Cabbage Patch kid. Technology in all realms – whether receiving it as a gift or using it to power business – makes the holiday season, and it’s always an important role at UPS.

During the holiday season, we expect to deliver more than 28 million packages on Peak Day and an astonishing 527 million packages between November 26 and Christmas Eve. We credit the success of our holiday peak season to our people and our technology. Technology encompasses every element of operations from distribution centers and warehouses to trucks, drivers’ handheld computers and even the packages themselves.

And if you haven’t signed up already, you can power the magic of your own holiday season with UPS MyChoice. Stay on top of all your holiday packages with delivery alerts and reroute, reschedule or authorize a shipment release to make your life easier. Happy holidays!
